CANpie (CAN Programming Interface Environment) is an open source project and pursues the objective of creating and establishing an open and standardized software API for access to the CAN bus.
The project was established in 2003 by MicroControl and is licensed under LGPL version 3. The current version of the CANpie API[1] covers both classical CAN frames as well as ISO CAN FD [2] frames. The API is designed for embedded control applications as well as for PC interface boards: embedded microcontrollers are programmed in C, a C++ API is provided for OS independent access to interface boards. The API provides ISO/OSI Layer-2 (Data Link Layer) functionality. It is not the intention of CANpie to incorporate higher layer functionality (e.g. CANopen, J1939).
Driver Priciple
The CANpie API supports the concept of hardware message buffers (mailboxes) with a total limit of 255 buffers. A message buffer has a unique direction (receive or transmit). As an option it is possible to connect a FIFO with arbitrary size to a message buffer for both transfer directions. The total number of CAN channels is limited to 255, the API provides a method to gather information about the features of each CAN hardware channel. This is especially important for an application designer who wants to write the code only once.
Usage
The following code snippet shows the initialisation of a microcontroller.
#include "cp_core.h" // CANpie core functions
void MyCanInit(void)
{
CpPort_ts tsCanPortT; // logical CAN port
//---------------------------------------------------
// setup the CAN controller / open a physical CAN
// port
//
memset(&tsCanPortT, 0, sizeof(CpPort_ts));
CpCoreDriverInit(eCP_CHANNEL_1, &tsCanPortT, 0);
//---------------------------------------------------
// setup 500 kBit/s
//
CpCoreBitrate(&tsCanPortT,
eCP_BITRATE_500K,
eCP_BITRATE_NONE);
//---------------------------------------------------
// start CAN operation
//
CpCoreCanMode(&tsCanPortT, eCP_MODE_OPERATION);
//.. now we are operational
}
